6 pucks are less harsh than 4 pucks made of the same material.

Nope.. The 4 puck is harder because there is the same pressure over less contact areas..

Yup its all about surface area. Come to think about it. Wouldn't that make a 6 puck better at dealing with heat too? Why am I using a 4 puck? lol

lol good ol unsprung 4 puck, that must be fun if you ever get stuck in traffic. im hoping its a track *****

i had a 6 puck in my old ls/v-tubo, and honestly it felt very similar to stock lol. no real drivability changes. although my pressure plate was pretty weak.

Same here.. Got the Clutchmasters FX500 and I love it.. I wouldnt want to drive it everyday but its on my track car so it doesnt matter..

The harsh engaugement sucks sometimes but a slipping clutch is much worse..

My FX500 is great in traffic. The spring pressure is much lighter than my old ACT setup.
